Angel stepped into the club the next night, fully prepared to have another battle. She was dressed in turquoise high waisted shorts, a black flowy tank top, a bright red flannel tied around her waist, and green Converse.

"Here she is again!" DJ Sand called. "Angel!"

"Good evening, Sand!" Angel cried, a grin on her face. "Who am I facing tonight?"

A bright spotlight switched on and Angel turned her attention to the crowd, noticing who it was. Oh no.

"You're facing me." Chase smirked, stepping out onto the dancefloor.

"Why you?" Angel muttered.

The familiar tune of Rihanna's Don't Stop The Music came through the speakers and DJ Sand cheered happily, shouting for the battle to start.

Angel's shock subsided pretty quickly, and she started to throw herself into the music, busting out her basic moves so she wouldn't tire herself out when she schooled the pretty boy's ass.

Chase started throwing out complicated moves from the get go, which Angel denounced as foolish as he would become exhausted very quickly. As the beat drop was coming up, Angel vaulted herself up onto Sand's decks and faced forwards. She pushed herself up into a front flip and spread her legs frontways, landing in a split on the club floor.

The blond male grinned, watching the girl as she did more flips and threw his hands up, admitting defeat.


"You should just start your own crew." Chase suggested, as he sat with Andie.

"No, you can't just start your own crew." Andie sighed.

"Why not?" Chase furrowed his eyebrows.

"Because you can't." Andie shook her head. "Besides, who would be in it? Me and..."

"Me." Chase offered. "Us."

"OK. We'll just start our own crew." Andie mocked, not taking him seriously.

"What else you gonna do?" Chase asked.

"Nobody here is gonna step out of their perfect world." Andie accused.

"Not the Sophie Donovans, but there's a lot going on under the radar." Chase shrugged.

"Really?" Andie asked in disbelief.

"There's this guy we call Hair. He's this half hippy, half rhythmic rebel and he makes the sickest beats. Teachers don't know what to do with him. Can't put him in a class, gets bored, makes up his own steps."

"There's Kido. She's this foreign exchange student obsessed with old-school American hip hop. And, trust me, she doesn't need English to speak our language."

"Fly's the quiet one, but not when the music's on. She's too tall to partner, but when you're that good, who needs a partner?"

"Which brings us to Monster, our resident stunt double. He flips, he slides, he falls. Whatever you need to make an action sequence work onstage. But he never gets the spotlight."

"Most know my boy, Cable, as the video yearbook editor. But little do they know, he's one of the best freestyle dancers I've seen in my life."

"And, finally, Smiles. Nicest guy you'll ever meet. Dopest dancer on the dance floor. Unfortunately, MSA only sees what it wants to see."

"Don't forget Moose."

"Moose?"

"Trust me on this one."

"Oh, and we'll also need Talia."

"Why Talia? She's just a ballet dancer."

"Not exactly."

"But what makes you think they'll do it?"

"They all have nothing to lose."


"Alright, you guys. Listen up. Check it out." Chase spoke up, capturing our attention. "Now, I know each and every one of you here knows what it's like to be forced to conform and become an MSA robot, right?"

"Yeah, uh, they wanted me to cut my hair." Hair said.

"Yeah, and fix my teeth." Smiles nodded.

"I like your teeth." Kido complimented.

"Thank you." Smiles grinned. "I like your accent."

"What accent?" Kido furrowed her eyebrows.

"The accent that you have." Smiles explained. "You have an accent."

"That's exactly my point." Chase cut off their debate. "And I also know that each one of you guys has a really amazing talent that this school doesn't know what to do with. So, I think we do something with that talent."

"Like what?" Monster asked.

"Like form a crew, and compete at the Streets." Chase suggested.

Whilst everyone around me protested, I was pretty on board with the idea.

"I've heard it's dangerous." Fly said.

"Forget about what you heard." Andie spoke. "The Streets is about the best dance crew showing off what they got."

"We don't stand a chance." Smiles said.

"What are you talking about?" Chase said in disbelief. "Freddie, I've seen you do stunts in the school play. There's a reason they call you Monster."

Monster grinned and did a trick on the floor with the help of Cable, sliding between the slim boy's legs and jumping up.

"And Talia, we both know what you can do." Chase grinned.

"What can you do?" Cable asked.

"This." I grinned too.

I stood in the open space of the dance studio and did two front flips, landing the second one with the splits and then bending myself into a bridge.

"Ooh girl, I like that." Monster commented.

I untangled myself from the acrobatic move and took my place back next to Cable, who was grinning widely.

"So when is it?" Kido asked.

"That's the thing. Nobody knows when or where until a text message of the night of. So we have got to be ready." Andie explained.

"Sounds good but Director Collins'd never let us rehearse here." Moose excused.

"Who said Director Collins has to know?" Andie smirked, whilst Chase produced a set of keys.

"He's got the keys." I spoke, a devious look on my face.

"Borrowed and copied." Andie said proudly.

"MSA after hours. I like it." Moose chuckled.


So, it's pretty horrible of me to prolong this chapter for so long (8 months to be exact) and only give you 980 words for a chapter. I'm sorry! But sadly, the Step Up 2 movie is split out pretty weird so the chapters are going to be short in some places and long in others. That's just how it's going to work. So, Chase has discovered that Talia is Angel but hasn't told anyone else just yet, he's probably going to let her tell the others.

seeds123: Here is the next!

HidingBehindBlueEyes: Thank you :) And they won't find out just yet, as she will tell them herself instead of letting them discover it.

PlainJaneJaida: Thank you :) And I do know that, but I feel like he appreciated her just a whole lot more. Whilst he wanted to get into the street dance life through Andie, I think he fell in love with her along the way.
